The NDTV announced through its official Twitter handle that the news organisation strongly condemns the comments made by Nidhi Sethi. She has been suspended for two weeks.

New Delhi: A Delhi-based journalist associated with the news channel NDTV has been suspended for putting up an objectionable post on her Facebook page about the Pulwama terror attack.

Deputy News Editor of NDTV, Nidhi Sethi, can be clearly seen to be supporting the banned terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) through her post, having used a hashtag #HowstheJaish (Jaish-e-Mohammed).

This has come under heavy fire on social media with netizens slamming he act of glorifying the terror attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus in Pulwama that left at least 40 jawans dead. It was the biggest attack on the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

Sethi had written, “Where a grisly 44 has been proven to be greater than the mythical 56.” With this, she added the hashtag #HowstheJaish. This is the same hashtag which is being used by other symphatisers of the Pakistan-based terror outfit.

An Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) student, Basim Hilal, has also been expelled and an FIR registered against him for using the same hashtag with his Twitter post.

BJP is falling apart. Modi's game of duplicity is backfiring all over the place. It has backfired with Trump. The library jibe is a stark reminder. It has backfired with the people back home. Modi is falling apart like a brick wall folks. His days are numbered. This looks like another Nawaz Sharif in the making.

This is a rational demand...traitors like these b*tches should be publicly hanged...the entire nation was in mourning and this b*tch had the audacity to mock the deaths of our brave soldiers...

Perhaps she is right and you are wrong? Has that thought ever entered your mind?

How is it remotely possible that your BJP kind are always right and everyone else is wrong?

She seems to have deleted her account..

That is an excellent point. He is full of inconsistency.

Freedom of speech doesnt mean you make fun of soldiers martyrdom to take potshots at people who you don't like

 

[graphican]

Indians are so down on their intellectual standards that for them an alternate opinion is a crime. They think what they think is the only possible reality and because they have thought something, the reality must oblige and create what they have thought.

LOL.
